Our read on each fund
TBTB
TYOD
In short
TBT The original way to lean against long Treasuries. Live since 2008, TBT aims to deliver twice the inverse of the ICE U.S. Treasury 20+ Year Bond Index's daily move, at the lowest fee in the leveraged bear-Treasury crowd.
TYO Most leveraged short on the belly of the Treasury curve: TYO targets 300% of the inverse daily move of the ICE U.S. Treasury 7-10 Year Bond Index, where same-index rivals stop at 1x and 2x.
Stated mandate
TBT The fund seeks inverse, twice-magnified daily exposure to the ICE U.S. Treasury 20+ Year Bond Index, aiming to benefit when that index's daily price declines.
TYO The fund seeks daily investment results equal to 300% of the inverse performance of the ICE U.S. Treasury 7-10 Year Bond Index, before fees and expenses. Its objective applies for a single day.
